Surface Design Workshop

Today (October 15th) we had our Surface Design workshop taught by Betsy Yocum.  We had 8 participants, several were non-guild members.

Betsy explained several different fabric painting and embellishing techniques in the morning, and then we spent the afternoon experimenting with all the techniques.  We tried foiling, dye discharge, silk screening, paintstiks, and embossing on velvet.  Everyone's results were so different.  I was very impressed by all the attendees creativity and willingness to delve into the techniques.

Betsy will be giving a lecture and trunk show at the Guild meeting on Sunday the 16th.
